Not a newbie newbie, but haven't introduced myself yet

Hi everyone, my name is Crystal. I love in Northwestern part of Ontario, Canada. I've been married to my hubby for 14.5 years (he is a long haul trucker). We have 3 boys, my oldest is 14 (he is a high functioning Autistic), and my twins are 12. We also have a black lab retriever mix, a black Heinz 57 cat, and a guppie.
I have always been as frugal as possible, and it has come in handy when hubby and I have had financial problems in the past. That's when he became thankful for my "cheap ways" as he calls it lol.

How did you hear about frugal village? From a magazine I believe is where I found the link

Tell us about yourself. - I am currently working 2 pt jobs, I just graduated from college with a Business Accounting Diploma and plan on continuing on through corresspondence to complete my CGA. Currently we are working on home improvements in our house so that is taking up a lot of my free time, when I do have free time to myself I like to putter with my plants outside and read.

Do you own any pets?
We have a black lab retriever mix, a black cat, and a guppie
